Question

Mr. King needs to buy floor mats for his car. The floor mats cost $145.00 before sales tax. The sales tax is 7.5%. What is the total amount

Mr. King will pay for the floor mats after taxes?

Answer 1

$155.88

Explanation:

We can set up an expression like this to find the final price of the floor mats:

([cost of floor mats]*[sales tax])+[cost of floor mats]

= (145*0.075)+145

= 10.875+145

= 155.875

Finally, we round our answer to $155.88.

I hope this helps!
